I placed an order with TZD last week for a handful of stuff that totalled around $100.

Now that I'm here I actually can't remember what exactly I ordered.

But one thing's for sure-- it's in the mail!!

[VestCunt]

I went a little nuts in the last couple weeks.  Each of the following were about $20:
Ghost Manor (new)
Algunos
Liquid Kids (w/case, manual for 17 bucks!)
TurboLink cable (new)

I also won these 6 with cases and manuals for $55 shipped:
Cratermaze
Deep Blue
Double Dungeons
Ordyne

Turrican

[Turbo D]

those are some good deals

[nat]

Deep Blue alone makes that bundle worthwhile! A bargain!

[pixeljunkie]

[TR0N]

Non PCE/TG16 related.

NeoGeo MVS
Baseball Stars 2

Won it on ebay last week... just another game i had a hard time getting on mvs.

Still the best baseball game for the neo and it's better then,Baseball Stars Professional by a mile 

[MrFulci]

The past week or two:


Sega Genesis:
- S-Video mod on a JVC X'Eye by SegaSonicFan, currently on it's return trip to me
- Road Rash 3


Neo Geo MVS:
- Magical Drop 3  (Thanks D-Lite!)
- SVC
- a few shockboxes with inserts


Nothing TG16/PCE related... Still waiting for a 6 button PCE stick to show-up someplace.

[nat]

On the way right now:

Sinistron (TG-16)

I used to have this game back in the day. It was a casualty of my video game collection sale of 2003.

A recent look at the game here by runinruder inspired nostalgic feelings so I found a mint copy on eBay for peanuts. That, and it is one of the few remaining US titles I need.

[RuninRuder]

You know I think that's a great purchase!     Awesome music and one hell of a challenge.

[Turbo D]

I bought one a few months ago, fun system. It gets expensive buying on ebay though, there is this member sweetstuff4u that buys every f'ing jag game that is rare and jacks up the prices for everyone else. He seems to be laying low right now, but he'll be back. Goatari has good deals, but his shipping can be expensive. I recently bought a catbox, damn that thing was expensive.

yeah, thats the dude I was bidding against....frustrated cuz I THINK I paid too much....but Jag stuff seems to have gotten more expensive since I last paid attention [6 or 7 years ago]

Oh well...I'm getting EVERYTHING in one fail swoop....so, thats kinda' cool...I guess.

[jimid2]

I've got Blazing Lazers and Bomberman coming (thanks TD!!), and I bought a TG16 controller extension cable for too much, but I've also got some cool non-TG16 stuff on the way...

- NeoGeo Color Pocket with Samouri Showdown and Metal Slug I & II - at least I think it was Samouri Showdown... Maybe it's Last Blade... anyway, this is coming from Japan - it was very reasonably priced, but it's coming very slowly ;)

- BRAND NEW (not MINT, but NEW, truly NEW, NEVER TOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS NEW) first edition Atari Lynx in the large grey box combo pack (with AC Adapter, Comlynx cable and California Games)... I've picked up a lot of Lynx stuff on Ebay lately, but the thing I wanted most was a real, Made In Japan, first edition Lynx I - finding a brand new one was awesome... It was also a little expensive... 

[Seldane]

I just bought a third Ys IV THE DAWN OF Ys (why? Because it rules!). $10, mint and complete. Never pay much more than that for this game.

[Seldane]

Bought some more games...

New Adventure Island - FINALLY! I'm so looking forward to playing this one.
Dungeon Explorer 2 - only five dollars. Nice price.
Ankoko Densetsu - FINALLY #2! I've wanted to own this game for the longest time. The music in this one is so fantastic.

I also bought a second copy of Xanadu Next for N-Gage... only $1.04, damn good price. Right, I got Ys III Mega Drive version as well, I "only" had the Genesis release before. Being a completist kinda sucks, ain't that right?

Nice, those are three very good games.  DE2 has one of my favorite game soundtracks (and so does Axe 2, for that matter).

[nat]

Where the fuck did you get DE2 for $5?

Or did you get the Japanese version?

When I first got DE2 I was blown away by the red book arrangements of the classic DE songs. Here, a few years later, the novelty has worn off and I actually prefer the classic DE chip tunes over their redbook counterparts. Not that the red book versions are bad.

[Seldane]

Yep, it's the Japanese version. No spine, I guess that's why it was so cheap. Kinda odd though, because it was that guy with the pink stuff (dream stars japan) that was selling it, his prices are usually very high. I always prefer chip music.

[MrFulci]

Road Rash has arrived, the others are on the way.

PCE/TG-16:

- Tennokoe Bank card (after reading about a member here losing all their saves on their system, I decided to purchase one of these)
- Legend of Xanadu 2


Playstation:

- Road Rash
- OFFICIAL PS1 memory card (my PS2 system doesn't like the thrid party PS1 memory cards I have. An official one is supposedly needed)

[TR0N]

Non TG16/PCE related.

I was gonna get some thing for my duo-r this month,but the otakon is around the corner so forget it.

Maybe if 16bit/carslon has some pce games to sell there maybe then.

[nat]

GC
Midway Arcade Treasure

There's a TON of great shit on here. I got it in the bargain bin at Walmart like three years ago for $9.99 or something. Let me tell you, that's a steal of a deal for all the classics on it.

Marble Madness and Gauntlet alone justify the $9.99 price tag, not to mention Defender, KLAX, Vindicators, Paperboy... The list goes on.

In the mail:

Beyond Shadowgate should show up any day now.
Terra Cresta II on the way from the UK. It seems the price for this one has really come down since five or so years ago. I won it for around $70, I recall it used to go for $200.

Later this week I need to meet up with Aaron and pick up my brand new, sealed copies of Bravoman and that one Champion Boxing game or whatever it's called.

Midway Arcade Treasure.. has a little more then there past collection on the PS1.

Btw ever see, G4 review for MAT it's a joke in itself realy those idots... never like any collection for old games.

[gundarN]

I'm currently waiting on:
Pomping World
Schibibin Man 3

Wondering what Schibibin Man 3 will actually be like.

And I'm also waiting on my Taito F3 and Landmaker.

[nat]

Wondering what Schibibin Man 3 will actually be like.

What it will actually be like? What are you expecting it to be like? It's a pretty cool sidescrolling platformer. I like the music. It's not like the second Shockman game at all, really.

[turbofan1]

I hope you did not pay to much for Schibibin Man 3.The game is incredibly easy.I beat that game the same day I got it.Its got some amazing visuals,but other than that its A cake walk.

[gundarN]

I hope I didn't pay too much either. If it's easy I guess I stand a chance of completing it.

[td741]

Well, it's been a while since I've ordered Turbo games.

I finally went ahead and bought Meteor Blaster.   And I took advantage of Play Asia's sale to pick up MotoRoader MC, Jim Power and buy Flash Hiders again... I think I bought that around the same time as Dracula X when the Import shop I ordered from at the time got Drac X in.

[MrFulci]

Flash Hiders is a good game. One of my fav figthers on the PCE.

The two MVS carts were shipped to me from Hong Kong. Good price on both titles together. The seller wrapped the cardboard box with paper. This packages seemed to take longer than normal. When it arrived yesterday, the box seemed to have a large dent... unusual. Upon opening the paper (paper was covered in clear packaging tape) I noticed the dent was a ripped portion of the box, than had been approximately placed back on it's original spot. There was also an envelope inside that featured the USPS symbol! The note, inside the envelope, read that my package had been found ripped open and "rifled". And that some contents may be missing. The general attitude in the letter was "We found your box like this, stuff may be missing, oh well, here's your stuff, you can call me here."

Everything was there. It appears someone ripped the paper off, slit the top of the cardboard box, then ripped a chunk of cardboard down the side of the box. Seems to me, that the package was ripped open in the US, not overseas. Though the letter may say otherwise, it also appears the USPS postal inspectors probably did the rifling.

Interesting stuff, never had USPS insert a note into a package of mine!

[esteban]

Wow, I've never seen a USPS note either. I suspect you're right: I bet the USPS inspected the package. They could have done it more tenderly, goddammmmit.

[MrFulci]

The only thing similar to this that I have encountered, was when a piece of mail arrived to me, in a USPS plastic bag, with a note reading the mail in the bag had been "damaged in a sorting machine, sorry".  It was nothign important, and 3/4 of the letter was still there.

I snapped a few pics of the box, below is a scan of the letter.

This letter has one date WAY off. It reads that they were informed about this item on June 30th. Not possible, as I only paid for these items July 18th.

I received a note from the Post Office when they shredded a money order I was sending to someone.  They gave me back a teeny-tiny corner of the money order... the rest was unsalvageable.  Fortunately I was able to get my cash back on the M.O.  I will never send money orders through the mail again.  They shred stuff!  Pay your bills online if you can, as checks can get shredded as well and then your mortgage company or water plant or whoever will penalize you for non-payment!

[Keranu]

Jeez, how does the post office come about shredding envelopes?

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Jeez, how does the post office come about shredding envelopes?

It can sometimes get caught in the sorting machines.  I once had a letter delivered by the USPS in a little plastic bag.  It was completely filthy (solid black) and had a little note that explained that it had been stuck in the sorter for months and sorry for the inconvenience.  Strangely enough, the machine didn't tear it open or even crumple it up; it just coated it in a thick layer of grime.  Lucky for me it was just junk mail.
